Apparently, there is a profile that will give you an 80-90% chance at schools like HBS/GSB/Wharton:
750+ GMAT 3.8 GPA Ivy League undergraduate degree Work experience at GS or McK Extracurricular includes alumni involvement and very active participation in an ethnic identity organization
This was put together by Sandy Kreisberg for the Handicapping Your MBA Odds series
Anyone able to match this?
Depends. If this were a African American/Hispanic female I'd say the chance is nearly 100%.
If it's an African American/Hispanic female, they'd get a full-ride to W. And barring any interview shenanigans I'd expect near 100% chance @ H/S. That profile is just so rare.
Curious, Full-Ride to W or pay full freight to H/S?
Good question, but given that I will most likely never face that decision, I'll just play the Prestige douche and quote a famous WSO user: "Harvard or bust".
h/s easy call in that unlikely scenario
replace GS with GS+KKR/Apollo/etc and I'd say 85-90% is accurate for H/S. that profile has essentially 100% chance at wharton
Weren't PE guys slaughtered in admissions last year>
Yup know people with the same profile at HSB/GSB. Usually 2 years at GS and then at top tier PE megafund.
